Question

X + 5 = 10 A) x = 2 B) x = 3 C) x = 4 D) x = 5

Answer 1

D.) x = 5, because when you plug five in for x, 5 + 5 = 10 is correct.

Answer 2

Hey there!

            $\bold{x+5=10}$

1. $\bold{A.)x=2}$
2. $\bold{B.)x=3}$
3. $\bold{C.)x=4}$
4. $\bold{D.)x=5}$

Okay, so first we have to do the OPPOSITE of $\bold{addition}$ (which is $\bold{subtraction}$)

So, $\bold{subtract}$ by $\bold{5}$ on each of the sides

• $\bold{x+5-5}$  $\bold{=10-5}$

• $\bold{Cancel:5-5}$ because that gives you the result of $\bold{0}$ which is NOT our answer
• $\bold{Keep:10-5}$ because it gives us the result your "$\bold{x-term}$ "
• $\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:x=5}}}$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
